@@Missinginaction9657 Problem is with Base Align basic physics is not respected. LBs pinned inside should not get to the Flats almost as fast is if they were never base aligned to begin with. A cb will be 5 yards inside of a WR and still make the play on a streak. In Real life, if you are out leveraged you are toast. And Madden base alignment did not respect Leverage.

Been enjoying it so far. I only have grinded ultimate team so far as well as go through the playbooks. I see you’re in the 4-2-5 defensive playbook. I assume it’s because you’re sticking with match coverage and it has BNOG over g as well as under. 3-3-5 Tite looks good when it comes to match out of 3-3-5 penny. From what I’ve seen they did a good job incorporating match coverage into more formations.

I got the game and the gameplay truly is enjoyable but my gripes are. not being able to change jersey numbers in dynasty is truly insane. I’d rather not be able to change a players name then his jersey number. This feels like one of those things EA does to bate you into buying next years version. Not having enough customization with our coaches. You can’t sculpt their heads, change facial hair, or hair color/style if we can do it in RTG why not dynasty? There are over 300 models to pick from but come on EA let me create my coach. No hats or visors? Wtf? I feel like over half of real coaches wear some type of hat. All I can change is his shirt? No job security tab where I can see what coaches around the nation are on the hot seat. I can only see if my jobs safe? It’s a fun game and worth buying but in typical EA fashion there are some true head scratching features they didn’t bring back.
